The two best things about traveling for me are the people and the food! I would love to eat my way through every country. I will try just about anything once. I love Indian (spent 11 days in India!), Vietnamese and Ethiopian food.

I love every part of the traveling experience: I love the preparations period when you make reservations, when you are excited thinking about the places you will visit; I like traveling to the destination; I like when I get to the destination to enjoy everything the place has to offer.
Traveling is wonderful!!!

A change of scenery is a major draw for me. The destination need not be far--I enjoy visiting the not-so-far Catskill Mountains as well as traveling to my husband's childhood home of Barbados. Being away from the city is a big attraction; the fresh mountain air of the former and the delightful sea breezes of the latter are the stuff of fond memories (which last until we can visit these places once again).

I love experiencing the culture and food of the people. I like to explore the countryside and tour the museums. Even just sitting at a cafe and watching people go by is fun.

Traveling is such an amazing thing when someone is able to travel to all newplaces. You get to explore a whole new environment. There's just something so fun about getting to visit all the new stores and check out all the new different food places. It's such a nice feels to find that one special store or food place in a new town or city tha you just absolutely love.

Besides everything? I enjoy seeing the sites, eating new kinds of food and experiencing new cultures, but what really makes it for me is the people I meet. We are more similar than dissimilar, and travel brings out the beauty in all of us.

I love the change. The love that comes from seeing something new and making it a part of my memories makes it worth the while for me. :)

I love the adventure of it and how you don't know exactly what's going to happen next. Traveling changes things up so life isn't so repetitive.

Travelling is a mind refresher and comes with much learning. I love making new friends and traveling taps well into that.

First and foremost, I love taking in all the beauty that the Creator has created. Second, I love seeing all the different cultures and ways of life. I like looking at different people's interpretations of art, by way of landmarks and sculptures.

If variety is the spice of life, then I think traveling is extra spicy!
